Just noticed this thread now -- I like Evanescence, but agree with people who've noted that 'Origin' is a better album than 'Fallen'. I also like 'Nightwish' too, and I ordered a Lacuna Coil album from Play.com earlier this year, but it mysteriously vanished in the mail, so I don't think I'm supposed to like them
Choosing a girl-rock fav though, I'd pick Lennon

I dunno - I'll need more photographic evidence to make the decision

I don't Lacuna Coil and Evanescance sound particularly similar, they're both metal bands with hot female lead singers, but their styles are both quite different if you ask me - Evanescence leaning more towards pop and American Papa-roach style metal, whereas Lacuna Coil are almost acoustic at times! (If you've got Coma Lies, stick in Disc 2 and skip along to the 3rd track, and see what I mean)nightwish wrote:My fave band of that genre is obviously Nightwish, but for some reason I prefer Evanescence to Lacuna Coil.
Oh you are *WRONG*! Lacuna Coil are streets ahead of Evanescene if you ask me, they sound to me like better musicians and I definitely prefer their music.
For some unknown reason I do actually like listening to Nightwish, but as a classicly trained musician who likes listening to metal, I reckon they've managed to lobotomise metal and bastardise oprea in one sitting! Listen to that strings-synth they use, it sounds like pain!
That said, there must be something good in there because Oceanborn is still one of my most-played albums, even if it does make me cringe on a regular basis.
Anyway, for me it's gotta be Lacuna Coil > Nightwish > Evanescence

Amy Lee has acknowledged that she didn't like what was done with their music, production wise, on Fallen. Apparently that was the way Ben Moody wanted it to sound. Their next album, is meant to sound like the pre-Fallen albums, which are FAR better. Lacuna Coil's male vocalist Andrea whatever-his-name-is isn't great IMO, and for me they don't have the poetic lyrics that are present in Evanescence's lyrics. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Lacuna Coil, I have all of their albums, but for me, I prefer Evanescence.
I don't like evanescence, because they're an american nu-metal band, one of the worst kind of bands a band can be /IMO 0 -

Hmm - and here I was under the impression that Fallen was their debut album - a number of people had told me that but if yourself (and allmusic) are to believed, I guess that's not the case
Well - I'll admit that Fallen is much like the Black Album as far as I'm concerned - a few good tracks but not something that you can happily stick on and listen to from start to finish, wheras I can happily do that with either Coma Lies or In A Reverie (Lacuna Coil) or Oceanborn, so they get marked down!
But if I come across sound asleep in my travels, I'll give it a listen.
